[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a reel body, and more particularly to a reel body of a round dual-bearing reel mounted on a fishing rod and winding a fishing line around a first axis along an axis intersecting the longitudinal direction of the fishing rod. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A dual-bearing reel generally includes a reel body mounted on a fishing rod, a spool rotatably supported in the reel body, and a handle mounted on one side of the reel body for rotating the spool. A rotation transmission mechanism for transmitting the rotation of the handle to the spool. The reel body has a reel frame having a pair of left and right side plates and a connecting member for connecting the side plates, and a pair of left and right side covers covering both sides of the reel frame. The connecting member is
A rod mounting portion for mounting the reel to the fishing rod is provided on one of the connecting members, which is formed integrally with the side plate at a peripheral portion of the side plate.

[0003] As this type of dual-bearing reel, there is known a metal round reel in which the side of the reel body is circular. For round reels, the side cover and reel frame are
Usually, it is manufactured by a die casting method or a forging method. Further, the pair of side plates and the side cover are circular in side view, and the outer peripheral surface of the reel body including the connecting member is cut by a lathe, so that the appearance is high and a high-grade appearance is obtained. Since the rod mounting portion provided on this kind of metal reel body largely protrudes from the outer diameter contour, another member is caulked or screwed to the connecting member after the surface is cut.

[0004]

The rod mounting portion of the conventional round reel having a metal reel body is joined to the connecting member by caulking or screwing.
A large force acts on this joint portion when the reel is mounted on a fishing rod and a fish is applied to the device. For this reason,
This joint requires sufficient strength. In order to obtain sufficient strength, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the joint,
It is difficult to reduce the weight and to make the upper part of the reel body low with respect to the fishing rod to make it low profile. Also, since the separate members are joined, it is difficult to obtain a high-quality appearance at the joined portions.

[0005] It is an object of the present invention to provide a round reel having a high-quality appearance and a low profile.

[0006]

A reel body according to a first aspect of the present invention is a dual-bearing reel body mounted on a fishing rod and winding a fishing line around a first axis along an axis intersecting a longitudinal direction of the fishing rod. A pair of side plates, a plurality of connecting members,
And a rod mounting portion. The pair of side plates are arranged at intervals in the first axial direction, and the outer peripheral surfaces are cut into a circle around the first reference position. The plurality of connection members are members that connect both side plates arranged at intervals. The rod mounting portion extends along the longitudinal direction of the fishing rod and is integrally formed at an intermediate portion of any of the plurality of connecting members. Of the plurality of connecting members, the outer peripheral surface of the connecting member that connects the side plates at the outer peripheral portion has at least an intermediate portion where the rod mounting portion is formed.
A circular cutting is performed around a second reference position on the rod mounting portion side from the reference position, and the other portion is circularly formed around the first reference position.

In this reel body, the rod mounting portion is formed integrally with one of the plurality of connecting members. Also, 1
Of the connecting members connecting the pair of side plates, the outer peripheral surface of the connecting member has the side plate at the outer peripheral portion, and at least the intermediate portion where the rod mounting portion is formed is centered on the second reference position on the rod mounting portion side from the first reference position. , And the rest is cut into a circle around the first reference position. Here, since at least the intermediate portion where the rod mounting portion is formed is cut in a circle around the second reference position on the rod mounting portion side from the first reference position, the rod mounting portion is centered around the second reference position. Can be arranged so as not to protrude from the circle. Therefore, the outer peripheral surface of the connecting member can be cut even if the rod mounting portion is formed integrally with the connecting member. By forming the rod mounting portion integrally with the connecting member in this manner, the strength can be maintained and the thickness and weight can be reduced as compared with the case where another member is joined, so that it is easy to realize a low profile reel. Moreover, by forming the rod mounting portion integrally and cutting the outer peripheral surface of the connecting member, it is easy to obtain a high-grade appearance.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the reel body according to the first aspect, the difference between the radii of the arcs centered on the two reference positions is larger than the distance between the two reference positions. In this case, since the difference between the radii of the arcs centered on the two reference positions is larger than the distance between the two reference positions, the center of the arc centered on the first reference position and the center on the second reference position are located on the upper side of the reel body. Can be reduced. For this reason, even if the side plates are connected by the connecting member at the upper part of the reel body, the step is less noticeable.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the reel body of the dual-bearing reel according to the first or second aspect further includes a pair of side covers that respectively cover outer sides of the both side plates.
In this case, since the side cover is provided, a more luxurious appearance can be obtained.

[0010]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In FIG. 1, a dual bearing reel adopting an embodiment of the present invention is a round reel having a substantially circular shape in a side view. The round reel includes a reel body 1, a spool rotation handle 2 arranged on the side of the reel body 1,
A star drag 3 disposed on the reel body 1 side of the handle 2. A spool 15 is rotatably mounted on the reel body 1. The reel body 1 can be mounted on a fishing rod RD via a rod mounting section 4.

As shown in FIG. 2, the reel body 1 has a reel frame 5, and first and second side covers 13 and 14 mounted on both sides of the reel frame 5.

The reel frame 5 is obtained by forging an aluminum alloy. Reel frame 5
As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, a pair of left and right side plates 10, 11 and a pair of left and right side plates 10, 11 arranged with a spool 15 disposed therebetween at predetermined intervals in the axial direction of the spool 15.
And a pair of connecting members 12a and 12b for connecting. The outer peripheral surface of each part of the reel frame 5 is cut by a lathe.

The side plate 10 is a ring-shaped member whose outer peripheral surface is a circular surface having a radius R1 centered on the first reference position O1. An eccentric hole 10a eccentric upward is formed in the center of the side plate 10 in which the spool 15 is disposed. Eccentric hole 10
a is an arc centered on the third reference position O3 above the first reference position O1. On the outer surface of the side plate 10, three screw holes 10b opening outward are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction.

The side plate 11 is a disk-shaped member whose outer peripheral surface is a circular surface having a radius R1 centered on the first reference position O1. In the center of the side plate 10 is a spool shaft 16 of a spool 15.
An eccentric through hole 11a through which (FIG. 2) penetrates is formed. Between the side plate 11 and the second side cover 14,
A space for mounting various mechanisms such as a rotation transmission mechanism (not shown) for transmitting the rotation of the handle 2 to the spool 15 is formed. The periphery of the side plate 11 is beveled, and three screw holes 11b that open outward are provided in the side plate 11 at intervals in the circumferential direction. Below the through hole 11a, there is formed a mounting hole 11c into which a rotating shaft (not shown) of the handle 2 is mounted.

The connecting members 12a and 12b are provided, for example, at a pair of upper and lower portions of the reel body 1 with a pair of side plates 10, 1.
1 is connected. The upper connecting member 12a is
0 and 11 are connected at the outer periphery, and the lower connecting member 12
b connects the side plates 10 and 11 inside the outer peripheral portion. The rod mounting portion 4 is formed integrally with the lower connecting member 12b. The rod mounting portion 4 is a plate-like member extending forward and backward from the center position of the connecting member 12b, and is slightly curved back and forth and curved in an arc shape to the left and right. This rod mounting part 4
Is the lower connecting member 1 when the reel frame 5 is forged.
2b.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the outer peripheral surface of the upper connecting member 12a is cut by a lathe.
Of the outer peripheral surface of the connecting member 12a, an axial intermediate portion 12c in which the rod mounting portion 4 is formed on the lower connecting member 12b is
An arc of a radius R2 centered on the second reference position O2 below the first reference position O1, and is cut by, for example, a lathe. On the other hand, both side portions 12d, 12d are arcs having a radius R1 centered on the first reference position O1, similarly to the side plates 10, 11, and are cut by, for example, a lathe. The difference between the two radii R1 and R2 is larger than the distance D between the first reference position O1 and the second reference position O2. For this reason, the step between the arc centered on the first reference position O1 and the arc centered on the second reference position O2 on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting member 12a can be reduced, and the side plates 10,
Even when 11 is connected by the connecting member 12a, the step is hardly noticeable.

In this case, since the intermediate portion where the rod mounting portion 4 is formed is cut into a circle around the second reference position O2 on the rod mounting portion 4 side from the first reference position O1, the rod mounting portion 4 is cut. Can be arranged so as not to protrude from a circle centered on the second reference position O2. For this reason, the rod mounting part 4 can be formed integrally with the connecting member 12b, and the outer peripheral surface of the connecting member 12a can be cut. By integrally forming the connecting member 12b and the rod mounting portion 4 in this manner, it is possible to maintain strength and to reduce the thickness and weight as compared with a case where another member is joined, thereby realizing a low profile reel. It's easy to do. Moreover, since the rod mounting portion 4 is formed integrally and the outer peripheral surface of the connecting member 12a is cut, it is easy to obtain a high-quality appearance.

Further, the side plates 10, 11 and the plurality of connecting members 1
2a and 12b are integrally formed to form the reel body 1
Even when a large load is applied, deformation such as bending is unlikely to occur,
A reduction in the winding efficiency is suppressed.

The first side cover 13 is a dish-shaped member,
For example, it is obtained by die-casting an aluminum alloy. At a position eccentric above the center of the first side cover 13, a bearing housing 13a is formed to protrude inward. A bearing for rotatably supporting the spool shaft 16 of the spool 15 is stored in the bearing storage portion 13a. Three stepped screw holes 13b penetrating inside and outside are formed in a peripheral portion of the inner side surface of the cylindrical first side cover 13 at a position facing the screw hole 10b. First side cover 13
Are fastened to the reel frame 5 by three mounting screws (not shown) inserted from the stepped screw holes 13b and screwed into the screw holes 10b.

The second side cover 14 is a member obtained by press-forming a thin metal plate such as an aluminum alloy, and is a circular dish-shaped member having substantially the same diameter as the side plate 11 when viewed from the side. As described above, the rotation transmission mechanism is housed between the side plate 11. Three screw holes 14 a penetrating therethrough are formed in the peripheral portion of the second side cover 14. The screw hole 14a is formed at a position facing the screw hole 11b of the side plate 11. The second side cover 14 is fastened to the reel frame 5 by three mounting screws (not shown) which are inserted from the screw holes 14a and screwed into the screw holes 11b of the side plate 11.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a clutch lever 20 is mounted at the rear of the reel body 1 so as to be vertically movable. The clutch lever 20 is for operating a clutch mechanism provided in the rotation transmission mechanism. When the clutch lever 20 is pushed downward, the clutch mechanism turns off and the spool 15 rotates freely.

At the front of the reel unit 1, a level wind mechanism 21 is mounted. It reciprocates in the spool axis direction in conjunction with the rotation axis of the handle 2 of the level wind mechanism. Thereby, the fishing line can be uniformly wound around the spool 15.

Next, the operation of the dual bearing reel when it is used will be described.

When the fishing line is paid out, the clutch lever 20 is pushed downward to put the clutch mechanism in the clutch off state. As a result, the spool 15 enters a free rotation state.
In this state, casting is performed with the right hand, and the spool 15 is rotated in the line payout direction by the weight of the lure (device), so that the fishing line is paid out from the spool 15. When casting, the fishing rod is held with the reel by the left hand and the fishing rod is gripped with the reel by palming. At this time, since the reel body 1 has a low profile, it is easy to perform the palming. Immediately after the lure lands, the handle 2 is rotated in the line winding direction with the right hand to start retrieval. When the handle 2 is rotated in the line winding direction, the clutch is turned on by a clutch return mechanism (not shown), and the spool rotates in the line winding direction.

In this case, since the rod mounting portion 4 is formed integrally with the connecting member 12b, it is possible to maintain strength and reduce thickness and weight as compared with a case where the rod mounting portion 4 is joined by screwing or caulking. Thus, the distance between the fishing rod mounted on the rod mounting portion 4 and the upper portion of the reel body 1 can be shortened, and a low profile can be realized.

[Other Embodiments] (a) In the above embodiment, only the axially intermediate portion 12c of the outer peripheral surface of the connecting member 12a is cut into a circle around the second reference position O2. May be cut into a circle around the second reference position O2.

(B) In the above embodiment, the connecting member 12
Although only the axially intermediate portion 12c of the outer peripheral surface of a is machined into a circle around the second reference position O2, the outer peripheral surfaces of the side plates 10 and 11 are cut into a circle around the first reference position O1. The whole including the connecting member 12a may be cut into a circle around the second reference position O2.

(C) In the above embodiment, the first side cover 13 is formed separately from the side plate 10, but the first side cover 13 and the side plate 10 may be formed integrally.

[0029]

According to the present invention, since at least the intermediate portion where the rod mounting portion is formed is cut into a circle around the second reference position closer to the rod mounting portion than the first reference position, the rod mounting portion is provided. The portion can be arranged so as not to protrude from a circle centered on the second reference position. Therefore, the outer peripheral surface of the connecting member can be cut even if the rod mounting portion is formed integrally with the connecting member.
By forming the rod mounting portion integrally with the connecting member in this manner, it is possible to maintain strength and to reduce the thickness and weight as compared with a case where another member is joined, and it is easy to realize a low profile reel. In addition, by forming the rod mounting portion integrally and cutting the outer peripheral surface of the connecting member, it is easy to obtain a high-grade appearance.
